Exeter Arms

New owners & a smart refurb have injected real excitement into this previously unremarkable roadside pub. A fresh, uncluttered style blends beautifully with the old building & the food is consistently good – with keen prices to match. Whether it’s four-hour braised pork belly with herb rösti, pheasant casserole or classic battered haddock with crushed peas, double-fried chips & homemade tartare sauce, this is well worth a detour off the A1 for all those who love good British food. While most of the pub is now taken up by the restaurant (including a light, contemporary conservatory), an old-fashioned bar serves locally brewed Ufford Ales, & a large terrace beckons for drinks in fine weather.
